LÉGENDES ET TRADITIONS LATINES
The work opens a vivid portrait of the new Hun‑Avar realm that rose a century after Attila’s death, centered on the formidable ruler Baïan. It sketches the empire’s sprawling reach along the Danube, its court life, and the intricate web of alliances and rivalries with neighboring Slavs, Franks, and the waning Roman authority. Through lively anecdotes and contemporary testimonies, the author brings to life the customs, language, and ambitions of a people often conflated with the earlier Huns.
Beyond the battlefield, the narrative weaves together legend and documented history, showing how the memory of Attila shaped the identity of his successors. Listeners will hear the clash of cultures, the diplomatic intrigues, and the vivid descriptions of campaigns that reshaped early medieval Europe. The first act sets the stage for a complex saga of power, tradition, and the lingering echo of a once‑feared empire.
